Johns Hopkins University Lock Change Policy Of recent years, the Office of Housing has been overtasked addressing issues with misplaced and or lost keys. With the intention of refocusing our resources to best serve you the student, and encouraging developmental growth in students through increased accountability, the Housing Office (in partnership with Security and the Office of Residential Life) will be enforcing the following policy: • Effective January 1st, 2017: If you lose your keys resulting in a lock change, a standard lock change fee of $125.00 will apply and a record will be maintained concerning the occurrence. • Should there be a second occurrence, a repeat lock change fee of $125.00 will apply and a meeting will be scheduled with an Assistant Director of Residential Life. During this meeting a conversation will take place to process how you, the student, can be better supported and more accountable for not losing your keys/J-card IDs in the future. Lockout Policy • Effective January 1st, 2017: If you lock yourself out of your room and require assistance from any university employee in regaining access (including Housing Staff, Residential Advisors, and Security) a record will be maintained concerning the occurrence. • Should there be as many as three occurrences, a meeting will be scheduled with an Assistant Director of Residential Life. During this meeting a conversation will take place to process how you, the student, can be better supported and more accountable for not misplacing your keys/J-card IDs in the future. • Subsequent lockout occurrences will result in a $20.00 excessive lock out fine for each additional incidence being charged to your ISIS account. Musical Instruments Large musical instruments must be stored in the Mattin Student Center or at Peabody. Noise/Quiet Hours All residents of University Housing are expected to keep noise at a level that is not disruptive to those living around them. This means that noise within living units and around the exterior of the buildings should not be noticeable to anyone outside that unit. Roommates are encouraged to discuss acceptable noise levels within residence hall rooms and apartments so that everyone within the unit can live, study and sleep in comfort. Minimally, quiet hours must begin by 8:00 pm on weeknights and 10:00 pm during the weekend. Houses are free to extend these hours but not to reduce them. Residents who are disruptive and fail to maintain reasonable quiet will face disciplinary action. If you fail to keep volume levels reasonable, audiovisual equipment such as stereos and televisions will be confiscated and held by the Office of Residential Life. In addition, amplified music should be played in designated music rooms only. The placing of sound equipment in windows to project sound out of doors is prohibited. Possible disciplinary consequences for repeated noise violations include relocation or removal from housing. A 24-Hour Quiet Hours policy is established at the end of each semester for finals. Pets No pets of any kind are permitted in the residence halls or apartment buildings. This includes animals such as birds, rodents, amphibians, reptiles (including turtles), fish, insects and any animals from labs. Residents who violate this policy may have their pets turned over to an animal shelter and will be subject to disciplinary action. Residents are asked to recognize the risks to health and comfort that the presence of non-human creatures presents to other residents. Full cooperation with this policy is expected. Postings Any materials approved by the Office of Residential Life may be posted in approved areas only. See the Office of Residential Life for the posting policy for the residence halls. Inappropriate and unapproved signs will be removed. Disciplinary action will be taken by the Offices of Student Involvement and Leadership, Fraternity and Sorority Life and Residential Life. Violations of this policy will result in a suspended period of advertising in the residence halls. You should not tape postings to the walls or exterior doors. They will be removed. Right of Entry Hopkins personnel have the right to enter the premises for inspection at any time whenever necessary for purposes of repair, maintenance, wellness or safety checks and breaks.
